The Gunners triumphed over West Ham United in the London Derby as Arsenal won 2-1 at the London Stadium. This was a crucial win for Mikel Arteta’s side as they now regain their 4th position over Tottenham who are just 2 points behind the Gunners. After losing 3 consecutive games, Arsenal have responded brilliantly and the players have coped with the pressure as they now have 3 huge consecutive wins in the league.
Rob Holding opened the scoring for his side as he also bagged his first-ever Premier League goal. A header that went straight into the back of the net gave the Gunners an unconvincing league. After a snoozefest in the first 40 minutes, this goal gave the game a spark as West Ham replied instantly. Jarrod Bowen exploited Tavares who was completely out of position and found the equalizer as it went through past a helpless Ramsdale.
With Champions League football on the line, Arsenal had to find the 3 crucial points in the second half. Even though Tottenham thrashed 3 past Leicester earlier today, a win was the only way out today for the Gunners. Gabriel Magalhaes came to the rescue as he gave the Gunners a much-needed lead. Gabriel Martinelli found Gabriel as the Brazilian connection clicked for Arteta.
West Ham, on the other hand, looked dangerous at times as they kept the Arsenal defence on their toes. Aaron Ramsdale had a brilliant outing as he shut off many shots which came his way.
With this win, Arsenal firmly have a grab on the 4th position as they have a 2-point lead over Spurs. With Everton securing a massive win over Chelsea, the Gunners are just 3 points shy of the third place as well.
Arteta’s side will now host Leeds United up next at the Emirates next weekend. With just 4 more games remaining this campaign, every game will be like a ‘cup final’ for them. As we look at how Twitter reacted as the Gunners secured 3 crucial points.
